Dennis Fomin, Boise & Meridian REALTOR

Dennis Fomin, REALTOR: a decade of Treasure Valley real estate, built one client at a time.

Dennis Fomin, REALTOR serving Boise and Meridian, Idaho

Local Knowledge Backed by a Decade of Results

Dennis Fomin has been a licensed Idaho REALTOR since 2014 and is an Associate Broker with Equity Northwest Real Estate in Meridian. He works with buyers, sellers, and families relocating from out of state across the Treasure Valley, including Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Star, Kuna, Caldwell, and Middleton.

Ten years in one market means having seen it from several directions. Dennis has sold homes when listings sat for ninety days and when they drew a dozen offers in a weekend, and that range is what makes his pricing advice worth listening to.

Dennis’s Story

Dennis was born in Sacramento, California, a first-generation American whose parents left Russia during the collapse of the Soviet Union in search of freedom and opportunity. His family moved to Idaho when he was young, and he grew up here. That upbringing gave him a lasting belief in hard work, personal responsibility, and the opportunity that comes with owning property.

Before and alongside his real estate career, Dennis owned and ran a local coffee shop for years and has invested in Treasure Valley real estate himself. That hands-on business and investing experience shapes the advice he gives clients well beyond a single transaction.

He founded Fomin & Company to rethink the traditional real estate model around personal service, honest guidance, and long-term relationships with buyers, sellers, investors, builders, and developers.

Outside of work, you will find Dennis hiking, fly fishing, or snowboarding, usually with his golden retriever and Siberian husky, and watching football on fall weekends.

Working with Dennis to buy my first home was an incredible experience. He kept a persistent eye on what I was looking for, sent me the perfect listing the night it hit the market, and met me the next morning so we could be the first to walk through. Upon receiving the inspection report and hearing the findings, Dennis immediately had his trusted contacts scheduled to provide same-day quotes and opinions. Throughout the entire deal, I had the utmost confidence in Dennis. I am so happy to have worked with such a great Realtor, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out.

Dennis is great! We first used Dennis in 2020 in the purchase of our first home, which for a first time homebuyer in that market it was quite the challenge. A challenge that Dennis lived up to and helped us get into our first home against several other offers equal to or above ours. In 2025, we ended up selling that home through Dennis in about 30 days (accepted offer), which was within our window of purchasing a new construction home on the other side of the valley. Dennis showed up to inspections, design work, and other milestones in the new construction process which was very helpful. Sometimes when you are in the middle of a 4-6 hour design meeting it helps to have someone tell you whether or not you're crazy. Overall, I'd recommend Dennis to anyone seeking a solid agent in the Treasure Valley. He is responsive, well connected to other realtors, creative, and professional.

I’m super grateful that we had Dennis Fomin on our side for buying our home. We searched all over Boise for months and began to get discouraged that we wouldn’t find the place that checked all of the boxes. However, we put our trust in Dennis’ expertise and I’m glad we did! We ended up finding our forever home!

Dennis is a total pro start to finish. Buying a house is a big deal and very intimidating and he made the whole process comfortable. He has a lot of great connections with local contractors, inspectors, etc. which gives a lot of peace of mind. He always answered all of our phone calls and texts promptly and made the experience very enjoyable and smooth. I’ve already sent a few friends and neighbors his way.

We had a fantastic experience working with Dennis Fomin to buy our first home in Nampa, Idaho. Dennis was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire process. He really knew what he was doing and always made us feel supported and informed. What we appreciated most was that he was never pushy—he gave us the space to make our own decisions while offering helpful guidance every step of the way. We truly loved working with him and would highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a great realtor!

Nothing but great things to say about Dennis Fomin. He helped us put our home for sale in Nampa and go under contract in less than 2 days! Super responsive and went above and beyond to help us since our move was across the country.

As an out of state buyer, Dennis went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. Wish Dennis was local to me so I could work with him for all of my local transaction as well, but anyone in the Boise area should definitely give Dennis a call!

Dennis has been absolutely fantastic. If you need a knowledgeable, personable, and highly professional realtor, look no further. As an out-of-state buyer, we faced plenty of challenges, but Dennis went above and beyond to accommodate every twist and turn. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to Dennis for all my future real estate needs in the Boise metro.
